PCB Assembly

Capability and Flexibility

ADAPT ems remains at the cutting edge of technology with the first installation in the UK of two Mycronic Mycronic MYPro A40DX-17 pick-and-place machines and two Mirtec MV6 OMNI 3D Component AOI systems.

Surface Mount Assembly

ADAPT ems has 6 SMT lines across two sites, including a high speed line based around 4 x IPulse pick-and-place machines and 2 SMT lines based around the new Mycronic MYPro A40DX-17 pick-and-place machines. In fact, as is typical for ADAPT ems this is the first installation of these machines in the UK. This gives ADAPT ems and a huge amount of SMT capacity and flexibility to cope efficiently with prototyping, low volume and high volume production requirements.

We have both standard hot air reflow and Vapour Phase reflow ovens so there is no need to compromise on product quality due to process restrictions. Whilst our hot air reflow ovens are extremely capable there are some jobs that due to their design (usually where there is a high thermal mass as a result of heavy copper layers and/or extremely large components) where Vapour Phase is really the only option. Both Hitchin and St.Neots have both process

3D In line Inspection Processes

Supporting our state-of-the-art SMT pick and place machines we also have in line 3D inspection processes covering both Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) and Component Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI), in fact again ADAPT ems is leading the pack by installing the first two Mirtec MV6 OMNI 3D Component AOI machines in the UK.

3D Solder Paste Inspection

ADAPT ems also employ 3D Solder paste inspection tools. This inspection system is based on dual projection camera system to ensure shadow free Moiré phase to check shape, height and area (volume) of each solder deposition. Solder Paste alignment can also be checked across a panel which is a particular importance on panelised double-sided boards which can exhibit thermal expansion during processing.
